Would you/ have you ever drawn Flower Ranchers fanart? (Jimmy×Tango×Scott)

I have drawn them before and I have done so again for you all!!!

I was originally just going to repost my previous art of them but my bestie gave me this banger idea for them and I needed to get it out there! (Also that art is like a year old now)

I've grown fond of snowbugs... they are so pretty!

I'll still leave my other art of them under the cut, as well as close ups of this one:

🎾 🤍💐✨🎀

it’s very easy to get art wrapped around your finger.

and it’s even easier to get him into bed.

your second year of college and you’re able to get a dorm just to yourself. your room is decorated all cutesy with star string lights and a plant and lots of colors. it’s arts safe space. you even made a copy of your key for him.

you love spoiling him and he loves being spoiled. don’t worry, he gives back as much as he takes.

“cmere baby” is all you have to say for him to crawl into your bed.

always always always lays inbetween your legs with his back facing you and his head on your shoulder. he’s taller than you but he’s a lean boy so he doesn’t crush you.

you’ll play with his hair in this position. it’s not uncommon for him to drift in and out. he’s just a little guy! he doesn’t need to think around you.

art cannot feel the weight of the tennis world when you hold him. you’re like a forcefield. he will tell you still talk to you about his sport of course but it’s different.

and as soon as your realize that the more you lean into it.

“who’s my special guy?” you say with his face in your hands. blush running rampant.

“i am.”

“that’s right.”

then you give him kisses all over his face till he’s giggling.

should i write a full on art dumbification fic or no

Peanut gallery social media commentary on Challengers is sooo funny to me.

“Art was the victim!” Did you miss the part where he started stirring shit up between his best friend and his best friend’s girlfriend in the hopes they’d break up and he could get with her instead? Or how he chose to cut off his best friend entirely to side with Tashi because Tashi blamed said best friend for her injury (literally he doesn’t even talk to Patrick about the argument? Ever? Just kicks him out of his life because Tashi wants them to LMAO)?

“Patrick was the victim!” Did you miss the part where Patrick spends like 13 years willfully reinserting himself back into a relationship he no longer gets to be a part of all because he’d rather ruin them and come between them and repeatedly hurt them if it means he knows they still think about him, rather than taking ownership of his actions and coming to terms with the fact that they no longer think about him at all? Did you miss the fact that he’s a giant flop on top of being a giant asshole?

“Tashi is an evil cold manipulative bitch who doesn’t care about anything but tennis and comes between them!” Okay what we’re not going to do is 1) act like those two losers weren’t active participants in the vast majority of what was happening to them so that we can blame everything on the woman 2) forget that Tashi spends the entire movie both being incredibly horny for yes tennis, but tennis very much including Art and Patrick specifically, as well as bringing a wrecking ball down on her own life repeatedly because she physically cannot go on without having all three of them in her life.

“The three of them are ALL terrible, bad people!” Are they or they neither good nor bad but a secret third thing (messed up, regular people)? Are they or they all three simultaneously the one’s holding the gun and falling into the graves they’ve dug for themselves?

“The movie promised me a throuple and then didn’t even deliver!/it was just a regular boring old love triangle” Did you miss the part where Patrick was the person who taught Art to jerk off? Did you miss the part where Tashi encourages them to neck her until they’re close enough for her to back away and leave them kissing each other as she watches with horny amusement? Did you miss the fact that they’re both playing for her number? Did you miss Art molding himself into the person who could obtain the glory that Tashi was denied? Or how he saw his fiance/wife kissing her ex boyfriend who also happens to be his ex best friend in Atlanta and then spends like 10 more years doing absolutely nothing about it? Did you miss “Don’t I matter?” “Not to the most obsessive tennis fan in the world” “I’m not talking about tennis” followed by an Art who has stopped caring whether he wins or loses caring, by the end of the match, more than he’s ever cared before, because Patrick DOES matter and because he’s STILL playing for Tashi’s number? Did you miss the part where for about 15 seconds there they were actually playing tennis and they understood each other completely and so did everyone watching and it was a bit like they were in love or like they didn’t exist and they went somewhere really beautiful together? HUH?

“They’re incredibly toxic!” Well, yes! but you see, that’s part of the fun!

Thank you so much for the tag, @valiantarcher! I'm posting a gif from each of my top 10 movies without saying what they are and then tagging 10 people.

I’m tagging @moonlightandstarshimmer, @daisyejones, @effulgentpoet, @amiablesummer, @cozy-possum, @ladyrock18, and anyone else who would like to participate! :)

[antigoneikk]

girl. challengers is not giving doomed love triangle to me. i do not believe that tashi loves these men at all. this feels more like a wasp version of brokeback mountain than a love triangle.

[cheekyblinderss]

You can say that we are nothing, but you know the truth

[beguilingcorpse]

ok i am doing the movie list trend except i fear some of these are too obscure

[escespace]

Prompt:

"He's a god, you filthy insect, and you broke the only human thing in him. His heart. Now, I'm going to enjoy watching how he breaks every bone in your body"

[truecorvid]

inspired by @morgutio !!!!!

[spineless-lobster]

I finally watched the return and uh… well unfortunately it was worse than I was expecting

[steviewashere]

Okay, jumped on the bandwagon. Got my inspo from @spec-squared <3

How many of my top 100 (aka my favorite) movies have you seen?

[foxglovecove]

Decided I need to keep track of my movie-watchin' as we've been watching a lot of stuff since moving. I've always wanted to be one of those movie-watchers who actually watches the entire catalogue of a favorite director, actor, screen writer, etc. with intention. I tend to do this unintentionally when hyperfixation is upon me. I see a movie, fixate on a character and then proceed to watch that actor's entire catalogue - for better or for worse.

Starting (shockingly) with Director Guillermo Del Toro and actor Burn Gorman

Guillermo Del Toro - I'm not counting his 2 shorts Doña Lupe and Geometria simply because I'm not sure I could find them?

Pacific Rim (2013)

Crimson Peak (2015)

The Shape of Water (2017)

Nightmare Alley (2021)

Pinochio (2022)

Frankenstein (2025)

Burn Gorman - ok I feel like this might be a bit more difficult cuz the man has been in a lot of things, but in small/very limited screen time roles. So, I'm going to be a bit more picky-choosey about these, but I'll try for most! Also not going to count a bunch of the tv shows cuz idk where'd I'd find them to watch. Will it bother the completionist in me? Yes, but sacrifices, etc.

[bornforastorm]

look i don’t have it in me to write the ‘patrick gently pulls art down over the net and lays him on the court and kisses him in front of everybody and then oh geez they’re fully making out in front of everybody and while tashi is finally fulfilled for once in her life she then immediately has to spend like two weeks doing emergency PR so art can still go to the US Open and win it as a fan favorite and not as a semi-disgraced closeted cheater (and so patrick isn’t cast as a scummy home wrecker because while he is scummy he is not wrecking their home)— and while she’s doing all that art is working out 13 years of frustrated emotions by fucking patrick into the ground four times a day and patrick is just happy to be there with the love of his life again’ fic but do know that i am thinking about it all the time and it lives in my heart
